Some of the images I have uploaded have been under the review tab for the last 28 days. seems a bit of a long time from what I have read elsewhere. I have more to upload but wanted to get some approved first so I had a basis for if I was uploading/ formatting correctly,

 

kind regards,

Are they photos or are they Generative AI assets? If you scan other recent posts here you will learn that Generative AI is taking a month or more to be moderated due to the flood of submissions, many from contributors who are uploading hundreds at a time.

On average, Photos & Vector Graphics are reviewed in 5  - 10 business days.
Generative AI could take 1-2 months due to the immense backlog.

For faster turnarounds, submit more real assets and fewer generative AI. 😉

Greetings! If you look through the recent posts on the Stock Contributor forum, asset review time is a popular topic at the moment. What sort of assets have you submitted?

 

Particularly for Generative AI assets, other users have reported a month or longer. It's thought that Adobe is receiving a great deal of Generative AI submissions, with some reporting they've submitted hundreds at a time. Non-AI assets are from averaging around 7 days or sooner from what others have reported.  Other assets are 5-10 days on average currently.

 

I hope this helps!

Hi, thank you for the reply. yes, most are ai generated, edited in photoshop and upscaled. I ended up getting 34 approved so far with around 200 under review. some images dating back as far as 3 months have yet to be reviewed. on a plus side I've made 1 sale.

You're lucky to get them approved, as upscaling is not allowed.

 

Assets are reviewed in the order as submitted, and there is no possibility to speed that up. You need to wait your turn. 3 months for illustrations is currently not shocking to me. However, the situation should be improving slowly because there is a limit imposed on pictures you can have in your waiting queue.
